If Pivot is just an another desktop GUI library, not many people would not be interested in Pivot. Pivot provide a framework to develop a rich internet client in a most simple way(compared to other heterogeneous approach combining several technologies). For me, it was quite refreshing to know such revival of applet. Also android is using Java, so there are some revival of Java on client side. I think it is better to reduce dependency for Java on server side since another new language(like Go) may take over in following years which can fully utilize new CPU design (multi-core). Also traditional session style server application will be not favored in cloud based sever system. So in this perspective, Pivot would have good chance to play an interesting role in future. -- Cheers, calathus
